Application of Manure.
American Rural Home

Not only is the preservation of the ma
nure with minimum loss matter of great
Importance, but application to the soil,
or 20 crops, is also an important mat
ter. Science would perhaps indicate
that to spread it upon the soil just be-
fore blowing, and then to sow the seed
and have the roots of plants ready to alb
sorb the plantfood as fast as released by
decomposition, wouldsbe the better way of
saving the valuable ingredients of ma
nure, but recent practice of many far
mers would seem to afford evidence that
there are some things which chemists
have not yet satisfactorily explained
Since the ordinary rotation of crops,
SO generally adopted in Western New
York, has been practiced, that is, manure
upon clover and timothy sod, followed by
barley and oats, those crops by wheat and
that by meadow, many farmers have prac-
ticed hauling out their manure at con-
venlent seasons; during the winter, some
times daily or weekly, when the weather
and circum stances would permit and
continuing so to do until ready to pillow
for corn in the spring. Many farmers
have informed Us that the favorable re-
suits of this course were plainly visible
in the corn, and that on those pasts of
the fields where manure was spread ear
Hest in winter the corn was best, the
growth diminishing as the time of spread
ing neared the time of blowing. A Ger
man farmer who watched for several
years the effects Of surface application
of manure became convinced that load
OF quite raw, unfeImented manure had
quite as much effect as load of manure
that had been condensed and ehranken
By fermentation. IF, then, farmers will,

and compacting in the stables or manure

The Rattlesnake's Awful Eye.
Forest and Stream

Never seeing q snake charming bird
or animai, / concluded it was a negro
superstition or fancy devoid of fact. So
continued to think till few days ago
when farmer friend of mine, living four
miles south of Abilene, told me what he
had witnessed. He said he was riding
along prairie and he saw prairie dog
within a few feet of him, which refused
to scamper to his hole, as prairie dogs
usually do when approached by man; on
the contrary, he sat as if transixed to the
spot, though making constant nervous,
shuddering motion, as if anxious to get
away. My friend thought this was strange
and while considering the spectacle he
presently saw large rattlesnake coileG
up under some bushes, his head uplifted
about six or seven feet from the dog,
which still needed him not, but looked
steadily upon the snake. He dismounted
took the dog by the head and thrust him
off, when the snake, which had up to this
moment remained quiet, Immediately
swelled with rage and began sounding
his rattles. The prairie dog for some
time seemed benumbed, hardly capable
of motion, but grew better and finally
got into his hole. My friend then killed
the RATHER. Now, was this case of char
ming? If not, what was it? My friend
who told me this is named Irving Nc
Clure, farmer we'll known to me, a good
and trustful man. 1 now give it up that
snakes do indeed CHARM or so paralyze
birds and little animals with terror, when
they can catch their eye, they become
helpless and motionless, almost as good
as dead. What say the scientists?
And to one who is familiar with the
eyes of a rattlesnake it does not seem
unreasonable that they should have such
power. If you will examine the eyes of
one when he is cold in death, you will per
ceive that it has an extremely malignant
and terrible expression. When he is
alive and excited | know of nothing in all
nature of SO dreadful an appearance as
the eye of the rattlesnake. It is enough
to strike not only birds and little animals
but men with night mare. I have on
several occasions examined them closely
with strong glasses, and feel with all
force what [ state, and I will tell you that
there are few men ON the face OF the earth
who can look upon an angered rattlesnake
through good glass-bringing him ap-
pearently within foot or two of the eye
and stand it more than a moment.

And on them sets his seal

And woe smiles into veal.

And love them every one.

And takes them then away.

ing the manural elements before the
manure is applied to the soil, and will,
from time to time through the winter,
when the weather is favorable, the earth
